Comparative Amplicon and Shotgun Metagenome Profiling of Soil Microbial Communities in Kauri Forests Affected by Phytophthora agathidicida

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Soils beneath symptomatic and asymptomatic kauri trees were analysed using LAMP, amplicon sequencing, shotgun metagenomics, and PICRUSt2. LAMP detected Phytophthora agathidicida in 39/60 samples, while shotgun metagenomics detected it at low abundance across all samples.

Geographic Variation in the Diet of Red Knot (Calidris canutus) Chicks Reflects Local Prey Communities

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To describe and compare the diets of an Arctic‐breeding shorebird, the Red Knot (Calidris canutus), across three geographically distinct breeding sites. We aimed to document the dietary patterns and identify key prey groups that characterise each population's foraging ecology.

Establishing a culture of limno-terrestrial tardigrada in laboratory and development of alternative [PDF]

Evidência, 2010
Tardigrades (Phylum Tardigrada) are invertebrate animals also known as water bears, that occurs almost in everylocations on Earth, from the Arctic to Antarctic, from Himalayan top to the bottom of the ocean. One of the reasonsthat the animals can live in

Avaliação dos métodos de amostragem para fauna perifítica em macrófitas na Reserva da Biosfera, Serra do Espinhaço, Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil - DOI: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v30i3.377

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2008
Os métodos “Jarra”, “Remocao Manual” e “Draga de Eckman modificada” foram avaliados para amostrar a fauna perifitica associada a macrofitas aquaticas. Foram coletadas 63 amostras em cinco ambientes lenticos e tres loticos na reserva da biosfera da Serra ...

Environmental Gradients and Ecological Processes Are Main Drivers of Eukaryotic Diversity in the Eastern Red Sea

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
Across 266 water column samples, COI eDNA metabarcoding detected 4298 eukaryotic MOTUs spanning 40 phyla in the Eastern Red Sea. Community composition varied strongly across depth and regions, revealing hidden biodiversity patterns and providing a baseline for conservation‐oriented monitoring in a future‐ocean analogue.

PRELIMINARY DATA ON TARDIGRADA FROM THE ARMENIAN FORESTED AREA

Bulletin of the Iraq Natural History Museum
Tardigrada is a phylum that has never been studied in Armenia, along with many other arthropod groups. Our research is about terrestrial tardigrade species. This study is the first paper on tardigrades from Armenia.

Genome size variation in Tardigrada [PDF]

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1996
Abstract The genome size of tardigrades has been documented to date in seven species of eutardigrades, and it is among the lowest in invertebrates. In this paper the evaluation of genome size is extended to eight other species of eutardigrades and to one species of heterotardigrades, in order to obtain a more comprehensive picture of minimum DNA ...

Characterising Soil Eukaryotic Diversity From NEON Metagenomics Datasets

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Belowground eukaryotic diversity serves a vital role in soil ecosystem functioning, yet the composition, structure, and macroecology of these communities are significantly under‐characterized. The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) provides publicly available datasets from long‐term surveillance of numerous taxa and ecosystem ...

Comparative myoanatomy of Tardigrada: new insights from the heterotardigrades Actinarctus doryphorus (Tanarctidae) and Echiniscoides sigismundi (Echiniscoididae)

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background Tardigrada is a group of microscopic invertebrates distributed worldwide in permanent and temporal aquatic habitats. Famous for their extreme stress tolerance, tardigrades are also of interest due to their close relationship with Arthropoda ...
